19.01.2022 It's a new financial year. We’ve noticed people asking about certain payments. Are they taxable? What's required for tax purposes or income estimates? We’ve put... together the following list to help everyone understand a few of these payments. $750 Economic Support Payment This payment is not taxable. This means you don’t include it: when you report your fortnightly income to receive your Centrelink payment in your family income estimate for FTB/CCS as income in your tax return. JobSeeker Payment This payment is taxable. This means you: don’t need to report it as your fortnightly income as it’s part of your Centrelink payment need to include it in your family income estimate for FTB/CCS need to include as income in your tax return. Coronavirus Supplement This temporary payment is taxable. This means you: don’t need to report it as your fortnightly income as it’s part of your Centrelink payment need to include it in your family income estimate for FTB/CCS need to declare it as income in your tax return. JobKeeper Payment This payment is taxable. This means you need to include it: when you report your fortnightly income to receive your Centrelink payment in your family income estimate for FTB/CCS as income in your tax return .

11.01.2022 Wishing all the grandparents out there a very happy Grandparents Day for yesterday. We hope you had a safe and happy weekend! A big nod too for our Grandparent ...Advisers who this year celebrate the 10th anniversary of their program. Grandparent Advisers help grandparents and other non parent carers who - for whatever reason - find themselves stepping in as principal carers of children. Becoming a grandparent carer can be a big adjustment. Our Grandparent Advisers can help with additional support while people adapt to the changes in their circumstances. To find out more about what Grandparent Advisers can help with, visit: servicesaustralia.gov.au/grandparentadvisers

06.01.2022 A growing problem

05.01.2022 Tax time is fast approaching. If you need to lodge a tax return, your Centrelink payment summary information will be pre-filled through myTax or with your regis...tered tax agent by mid-July. It’s better to wait to make sure your pre-filled information is correct before you lodge. Otherwise you may have to amend your tax return. You can access your Centrelink payment summary from early July in your Centrelink online account through myGov. You can learn more about this on our website: www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/paymentsummary

02.01.2022 SCAM ALERT! Watch out for scam phone calls claiming to be from Services Australia, the Australian Taxation Office and other government agencies. These calls... threaten people with legal action over a tax return or debt if they don’t provide personal information. Sometimes, they’ll have a recorded message instead of a person on the other end of the call. Although we do call people, we’ll always clearly identify ourselves. If you’re unsure if the call is genuine, you should hang up, then call us on one of our payment lines to check if the call was really from us. Remember: don’t share your personal information over the phone hang up if a call feels suspicious or threatening if you think you’ve given personal information to a scammer, call our Scams and Identity Theft Helpdesk on 1800 941 126 as soon as possible.
